Buroa, Somaliland, June 6,
2009 (SL Times) – Women drivers of small cars in Buroa face problems
when driving near markets and busy streets. The problems come in the
form of harassment, threats, and physical assaults which sometimes
result in the woman driver losing control of her vehicle and getting
into collisions and accidents that put life and property at risk. Asha
Ali Qabile, a woman driver, confirmed to RamaasNews the existence of
this problem.
RamaasNews, however, warned that this problem is not unique to Buro and
happens also in other cities. It suggested that a possible solution is
to allow women to tint their car windows.
